- (continued from previous page)was a man called Balor of the Evil Eye and his chief servant was a druid named "Cé". At the battle Balor was killed, and when Cé saw this he became terrified and fled from the battle-field like a madman. He kept running until he reached the Curlieu Mountains and there he sat down to rest. To take himself out of agony, by his magic powers he formed a lake around himself and was drowned. The lake was called after him and is to this day kown as "Loc Cé"
